If you get pulled over and have a rhd converted firewall that retained the jdm vin#, will it be impounded or state ref ticketed?

btw if your thinking of doing this or something trust me that its fun for a bit, but the novelty wears off and it just a huge hassle being on the wrong side of the road.

-It is a felony in some states to tamper with your v.i.n. numbers. This is why i chose to use this method. Keep the v.i.n. plate from your old dash and re-install it onto the rhd dash. You can use a drill and *lightly* drill on the rivets and they will come right out. You can buy a rivet gun from any autoparts store for the install onto your rhd dash. The plate is to be facing the front of the car. An officer must be able to read it from standing outside the car.
You need 3 v.i.n. plates on your car:
1) in the door jams
2)under the hood on the firewall
3)on the dash on the driver side.
If you use this method there is no need for a chp inspection, or any need to notify the dmv.
If you are asked about the v.i.n. being moved you can say you ordered a new dash directly from honda.
